Many thanks PJ. I may have caused you to write and explain more than I intended!

I was just following up on your post from about a month ago where you wrote:

You would learn some things (and so would we all!) if you compared with and without the parallel grid resistor, and compared a 0.047uF or 0.033uF capacitor.

... and at a very basic level was wondering whether you thought different parallel resistor values might be worth exploring ... or other basic things.

That said, your very thorough "For Science" response is quite helpful in walking me through some of the relationships. I was able to keep up until you got to parallel eddy current and hysteresis losses ... I have no idea how to model those and only the most rudimentary sense of what those terms refer to (a notion of core magnetic "resistance"and images of BH curves come to mind without much understanding).  So "Science" will have to wait for a long and possibly infinite time.  ;D

many thanks, Derek
